For comercial drivers it is not allowed to use "Sleeper Berth" on your log book unless there is a sleeper (bed) in the truck.
But you can drive without a bed as long as you follow the rules.
Not also that you must have an actual DOT legal sleeper in order to be able to use the Sleeper Berth line - a bed alone does not make it a DOT legal sleeper. The FMSCA website has the required specifications for a DOT legal sleeper.
Additionally, you don't want to be caught sleeping in that vehicle if you have to log your down time as Off Duty. If, for example, you're running a hotshot with a pickup, and you stop in a rest area only to find that DOT set up an inspection station there, you will get hammered if a motor carrier enforcement officer sees that you were in that vehicle while you were on the off duty line.
Now, if you're referring to just driving a cab and chassis truck, and not referring to a sleeper berth in a CMV, that's perfectly legal, so long as you meet the lighting requirements at the rear of the vehicle.

Nope, so long as you have tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, and reverse lights. Don't forget mud flaps behind your rear wheels. And you MAY have to have a bumper or "ICC bar" to protect from a rear end accident. ( it keeps a vehicle in a rear end accident from driving under your truck)

What car that can be flat towed?
To the best of my knowledge most 2 wheel rear drive cars and trucks can be towed without damaging the transmission (if by your question you mean "flat towed" as meaning towed behind a tow truck on it's rear wheels). Most, if not all, 4 wheel drive cars need to be towed ( carried up on) a flat bed truck. Having a flat bed truck carry a 4 wheel drive car will prevent damage to the transmission.
